Is Anomos BitTorrent over Tor?

"No. Tor is designed to protect against traffic-analysis attacks
against anonymity by routing traffic through its fixed network. It is
used primarily for web-surfing, although it can be used for other
services, such as BitTorrent. However, this is damaging to the Tor
network, which has a limited capacity, and the network operators often
take deliberate steps to prevent BitTorrent traffic on their network."

That said, it's an interesting project. Thanks for the link.
